Wind hard from the
S. E. I walked on shore and Killed
an antilope which was verry meagre, Saw
Great numbers of
Elk & some buffalow & Deer, a verry large Beaver
cought
this morning. Some verry handsom high planes & extensive
bottoms, The mineral appearances of coal & Salt together
with
some appearance of Burnt hil[l]s continue. a number
of old hornets nests
Seen in every bottom more perticularly
in the one opposit to the place we
camped this night. the
wooded bottoms are more extensive to day than
Common.
passed three small creeks on the S. S. to day which take their
rise in the hills at no great distance, Great numbers of Gees
in the
river & in the Plains feeding on the Grass.
